It seems that in terms of sharpness, 16Mp sensor without AA-filter is close to a 20Mp sensor with AA-filter, and 20Mp sensor without AA-filter is close to a 24Mp sensor with AA filter (not existing in µ4/3 world today). Moving from 16Mp to "20Mp"is not a big difference, but the change 16Mp to "24Mp" might be worth it.

G85 is a great camera.

Agree ,dont get to caught up in sharpness, detail and mpixels. I shot some test images with my em1mk2 and my sony a72r 42 meg sensor zoomed in at 150% and the detail was greater with the em12 20meg sensor i thought how could this be then i looked closely and discovered shutter shock on the sony what a pain as if you shoot over 1/1000 sec you cant get sharp images using electronic shutter .so i set the camera to normal shutter as i couldnt be bothered switching back an forth and then discovered shutter shock at 1/60 sec . cant win anything anymore just keeps getting more complicated.
